We are taking orders on an 8 week waiting list.

btw, Elizabeth is my newest family addition in the flesh as well as the metal. I now have 4 daughters man o man......

cheers

But I'm assuming the flesh Elizabeth doesn't have interchangeable bodies and heads?

This looks like a fantastic package, I have said before how much I am looking forward to trying your mics, even more so now

Dunno, haven't tried yet, I'll let you know.

**matt thomas** · 3rd July 2009

is the connection between body and cap unique, or can it use other manufacturers parts as options too?

No it's unique and built like a tank (a good looking tank)

flute player · 3rd July 2009

Nice looking and very big range of variations.
Nice body and logo

But...........besides it's out of budget for me.......can you give us a sneak peak of the Mahalia too.
Thanks.

Greetz,

Paul

drBill · 3rd July 2009

Ben - congrats on Elizabeth. BOTH of them.

I'm sure the mic will be very popular.

dbjp · 4th July 2009

Your pricing really is incredibly good.
Gotta give one of your mics a go this year.

Thanks, i look forward to hearing from you.

voiceactor · 4th July 2009

That is a great looking mic. I still want to try some of your stuff for voice over work but I don't know which one I would really like. Wish you had a demo program. Either that or I was very wealthy then I could just buy them all.

Yes I would prefer the later myself.

gian · 4th July 2009

Hi Ben

Great looking mic, is that a new logo you are now using?

It's THE new one.

**Reptil** · 4th July 2009

that is roughly 1300 euros for a body, a head and half the PSU.
for a brandnew handmade (tube) mic, not bad at all!
let's hear it!

This looks right up my street. A few questions so I can set my savings target:

Is that a single PSU and single mount? If so, how much extra for another PSU and mount?

Have you set pricing for additional heads / bodies yet?

Will the flight case have space for extra heads / bodies?

And, finally... do you have a ballpark figure for shipping to the UK?

Heartfelt · 4th July 2009

LOVE the new logo! That is one hot mic on appearance alone.

flute player · 4th July 2009

Hello mister Ben,

Just another question from the Dutch side.
Hopefully you'll answer this ( the other one about the pics of the Mahalia keeps unanswered still

)
will you update your beautifull new webside with the upcoming products and prices ?

Greetz,

Paul

A second PSU and mount is 500aud.

All heads will be 699aud, all bodies will be 999aud.

The flight case will fit additional heads.

shipping to UK is 180AUD inc insurance.

cheers

You 'da Man Ben.

Love your work mate.
Looks like the Elizabeth is going onto my 'wish list'.

Another vote here for 'update your website' - LOL.

cww2 · 10th July 2009

Very nice, Ben -

With the initial package having 2 bodies, 2 heads and 1 power supply - will the power supplies that came with my Arabella and James work to power one of the Elizabeths?

Nice work. Very nice.

Chase

mics · 11th July 2009

hi chase, yes the power supply pinout is the same. it will work. It won't be electrically the same supply but it will still work.

cheers

dubrichie · 11th July 2009

getting very interested in your stuff.

what's the craic with demos for Dublin, Ireland?

a looong way to send a demo, i know...

anguswoodhead · 20th August 2009

Just picked up one of Ben's Mahalia's which is modelled off the U67.
Looks very similar to the Elizabeth above.
Will be trying it out this weekend - gonna be sweeeeeeet.

Will try her thru a vintage Siemens V72 and a JLM Audio Dual99v.
Might even post some clips - will be Hip Hop though.

KBOY · 21st August 2009

What are the different mics you have available now? And when will you be actually getting them up on your site?

anguswoodhead · 21st August 2009

Over here in OZ we've all been on Ben's case to update his website.

Here is a scan of a brochure that came with my Mahalia.
Shows some of the products available.

KBOY · 21st August 2009

Stay tuned.

BTW - are you the guy that has the LA2A for sale?
Wanna swap for a U87 or Cranesong Avocet?
Or maybe a Bees Neez Arabella and a Bees Neez Jade?

KBOY · 21st August 2009

Doesn't he have a 251 type mic coming out? I'm interested in getting a 47, 251 for my place. Highly interested in those 2.. Whats the 47 mic costing you?
